Happy New Years!

Well Christmas has come and gone, and it was a success. It was a bit stressful for me since my husband and I ended up getting Strep. No idea how I got it, but I ended up giving it to my husband, so we weren't in the best frame of mind this Christmas. I just wanted to share some pictures of little man opening his Christmas gifts that I made him. I made him a crayon/coloring book portfolio and a super hero cape. Now I already posted where I got the tutorial on making it, but I wanted to show off how it turned out with the Transformers autobot symbol. I love how cute it turned out and judging from how he ran all over after opening it, I think he likes it. The portfolio I designed after taking a look at all the crayon roll tutorials and wanting something that would also hold a coloring book. If anyone is interested I can post instructions on how to make it. I hope that everyone has a wonderful New Years Eve and a fabulous New Year!

Fun Filled Weekend

I had an excellent weekend with my family. Yesterday we got some much needed yard work done in the front yard and the back yard was started. We were able to go into town and have a date at my favorite mexican food place, Cafe Rio. Yum. My husband took me to Hobby Lobby for the first time and I loved it. He was such a good sport, he has craft store "claustrophobia," where he freaks out usually after 5 or so minutes. Not so at Hobby Lobby. We spent over an hour there and had fun. I've decided that Hobby Lobby is my new favorite find. I can't wait to go back. I've decided that I want to get material and a pattern there for a simple yet elegant dress for miss ellie to wear for Christmas. I think I'll even make a matching tie for little man. I'm so excited. What a fun weekend.
